Braden Holtby recorded 44 saves on Monday and the Washington Capitals led their rivals the Pittsburgh Penguins from start to finish, scoring a 4-1 win.
Braden Holtby continued to earn every penny of his juicy new contract, recording 44 saves en route to a 4-1 win. Goals from Backstrom, Carlson and Oshie (twice!) put Washington into the delightful zip code of the Win column, and even fourth-liner Taylor Chorney got in on the fun, recording his first fight of the season, a real slugfest against Nick Bonino. A second dagger by T.J. Oshie on the power play at the end of the game was all she wrote , and the final score was 4-1 Capitals.
